There are dozens of different clans scattered arcross Draenor. But twelve huge clans once ruled over the smaller clans. When word that the clans in Azeroth had been either captured or disbanded, they Draenorian Clans claimed those clans' territory for themselves. This is a list of all the clans of the Horde in Draenor and in Azeroth.
These clans were, at one point,
the dominate clan for a time during the Wars.
The Blackrock Clan
Color: Red
Just before and during the First
War, Blackhand the Destroyer was the Chieftan of this clan. He was secretly
appointed by the Shadow Council to lead the clans. After the First War,
Blackhand was assasinated by Orgrim Doomhammer and he took control over
the clan. There aren't many clan members, due to internal skirmsihes among
the clans before the Wars and their large involvement in both the Wars.
The Blackrock clan gained allegence from the other clans be intimidating
them into it. The forces of the Blackrock clan are fanatically loyal to
Doomhammer and will serve him with thier lives.
Domain: Blackrock Spire, Azeroth
The Blackrock clan was captured and placed in a guarded reserve after the war. Orgim Doomhammer was placed under arrest as a war criminal and placed into the custody of King Terenas.
Shadow Moon Clan
Color: Black
Chieftan: Ner'zul the Shaman
The nefarious Shadow Moon Clan
rules over the scattered clans of Draenor. Although the clans Draenor do
not maintain the unity of the Horde in Azeroth, Ner'zhul keeps these houses
subjugated through fear and brute force. The Shadow Moon Clan is heavily
influenced by the ancient shamanistic principles and exemplifies the raw
power of the dark Orcish magiks.
The Shadow Moon clan had claimed
the Bone Wastes after the Blackrock Clan was destroyed.
Domain: South Peninsula of Draenor,
including The Bone Wastes and the Skeletal Coast
The Clans of Azeroth
These clans are those that had lived in Azeroth prior to and during the First and the Second War
Stormreaver Clan
Chieftan: Gul'dan the Warlock
Color: Blue
The Stormreavers are a small but
powerful clan whose origins are fixed in the history of the Horde since
its coming to Azeroth. As the last of its kind, the Warlock Gul'dan maintains
absolute control over his caln. Gul'dan, who secretly ruled the Horde through
Blackhand, has found that Doomhammer does not trust him nor likes him.
This forced Gul'dan to found the Stormreavers in order to protect hinself
from any action Orgrim might take against him. Gul'dan intended to fint
the lost Tomb of the Demonlord Saragas. Gul'dan did find the tomb
with the help of the Twilight's Hammer Clan and did gain a huge amount
of power from the Demonlord, but before Gul'dan could harness it, he and
Cho'gall were assasinated on order of Orgrim Doomhammer. All members of
this clan were either killed or disbanded prior to this event.
Domain: Stormwind, Azeroth and
Balor, Azeroth
The Stormreavers were destroyed by the Blackrock clan
when Gul'dan raised the Tomb of Saragas. Gul'dan was also killed.
Twilight's Hammer Clan
Chieftan: Cho'gall the Ogre Mage
Color: Violet
Obsessed with the notion that the
Horde is the harbringer of apocalyptic doom to all the lands that is ravages,
the Twilight's Hammer fells a sacroanct gratification in the destruction
of all that it encounters. Led by the cunning Ogre Mage Cho'gall, the Twilight's
Hammer has strong ties to Gul'dan and the Stormreaver clan. Its loyalty
to the Horde is not as strong as its belief in its sacred misson of oblivion.
The Twilight's Hammer clan helped Gul'dan find the Tomb of Saragas and
was later asassinated on order of Orgrim Doomhammer. All members of this
clan were either killed or disbanded after this event.
Domain: Northshire, Azeroth

clan when Gul'dan raised the Tomb of Saragas. Cho'gall was also killed.
The Black Tooth Grin Clan
Chieftan: Rend and Maim, the
sons of Blackhand
Color: Black
The Black Tooh Grin was originally
part of the Blackrock clan, but splintered off before the Horde's passing
into Azeroth. After their father was desposed from his position as War
Chief by Orgrim Doomhammer, Rend and Main decided to gain control over
thier own faction within the Horde without directly opposing Doomhammer's
ascension to power. The Black Tooth Grin, noted for its custom of each
member knockoing out one of his own teeth to symbolize his loyalty to the
clan, is charged with the protection and preservation of the dreaded Portal
in Azeroth. The unity of The Black Tooth Grin may be sorely tested should
the opportunity arise for Rend and Maim to reclaim their father's station
and avenge his death.

and placed in a camp after the war.

of the largest in the Horde before passing into Azeroth. Led by the aged

Dragonmaw Clan
Chieftan: Zuluhead the Whacked
Clan Colors: White
Lead by the Shaman Zuluhea, the
Dragonmaw clan is a small but elite faction withing the Horde. With its
legacy dating back into the time before the Warlocks, the Dragonmaw was

his demise, the Dragonmaw honored its fealty to Blackhand by pledging itself
into the service of his sons and The Black Tooth Grin. Using ritualistic
magiks dowered by the ancient Shaman, the Dragonmaw clan was responsible
for the capture of the Dragon Queen Alexstraza and the Horde's current
subjugation of the Dragons of Azeroth.
Domain: Grim Batol, Khaz Modan
Burning Blade
Chieftan: None
Clan Colors: Orange
The Burning Blade is not a clan as much as it is an elemental
force of nature. Chaotic and unpredictable, the Burning Blade is a brotherhood
of demented Orcs whose only objective is to raze and plunder with no regard
for their own safety. This leaderless swarm is held in check by the Ogres
- to be unleashed by the clans in times of urgent duress. The Burning Blade
holds loyalty to no one and will attack any that they perceive to be a
threat - even their fellow Orcs.
Domain: Nomadic

Second Wars. While they all served the Black Rock Clan during those Wars,

blood and death, the Warsong clan is the most distinguishable of the Draenor
clans. Led by the ravenous Grom Hellscream, the Warsong clan awaits Ner'zhul's
order to invade Azeroth and bathe in the blood of their enemies.
Shattered Hand Clan
Chieftan: Korgath Bladefist
Color: White
As those of the Black Tooth Grin clan, the members of
the Shattered Hand clan practice the rituals of self-mutilation to demonstrate
their loyalty to the clan. Orcs who rise to the status of Warrior within
the clan offer thier left hands to be broken or completly removed. Their
ruined stumps are often replaced by some sort of crude weapon or tool.
Thunderlord Clan
Chieftan: Fenris the Hunter
Colors: Violet
The Thunderlord Clan has strong ties to both the Blackrock
and Lightning's Blade clans. Orgrim Doomhammer, former Warchief of the
Horde in Azeroth, rose to power through the Thunderlord clan. Fenris, captain
of the remaining Wolfriders and Chieftan of the Thunderlords is eager to
lead his clan to glorious battle in the human lands.
Laughing Skull clan
Bonechewer Clan
Chieftan: Tagar Spinebreaker
